I am so grateful that I found North Coast Orthodontics. Dr Chan and Dr Schabel are very knowledgeable and honest, which is why I trust my kids’ teeth with them. My kids’ love seeing Dr Chan who is always patient and welcomes them with a big smile. I am especially impressed with how she explains every step to myself and my kids and also with how meticulous she is in making sure they have the best plan in place.

Definitely the best, super friendly ! Really enjoyed my treatment with North Coast no one else I’d rather go with for Invisalign. Always a pleasure

I had an amazing experience with North Coast Orthodontics. Dr. Schabel's excellent communication skills made all the difference in my treatment. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I understood what we were doing and why. The entire team is extremely skilled, friendly, and their professional communication and follow-through made the experience seamless.

What truly sets the group apart is how much they stand by their work. Even after my treatment was officially completed, they saw me for minor adjustments and answered all my questions with the same level of care and communication as on day one. That kind of dedication is rare and truly appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Schabel to anyone looking for an outstanding orthodontist.

North Coast office in Scott’s Valley is absolutely gorgeous. It doesn’t just stop with the office aesthetics, the staff is equally as gorgeous, professional and super welcoming. My 4yr old Grandson and I were immediately at ease. Greeted with friendly smiles and taken on a tour. I was asked if I needed anything or had any questions before being escorted to my chair in the clinic area. Everything was explained thoroughly throughout treatment by the assistant Jade. She is amazing in her explanations and her technique as she worked gently and quickly. I must admit I was nervous before coming in and even questioning if I made the right decision in starting this journey. All my fears have been put to rest. I am excited to tears and so happy I chose North Coast orthodontics to take this journey with. Thank you Jade, Doctor Schabel . Also I’m incredibly grateful for the entire staff who entertained my grandson throughout the treatment. Melanie at the front desk handled finances and gave me clear information and explained all my options. My Grandson even go t to meet Dr Schabel . I know he will also have great memories here. So if ever in the future he should need some help with his teeth. We will be forever customers! Highly recommended!!

Beautiful new office in Scotts Valley. Very thorough doctor with lots of tech to help clearly explain areas of concern and to discuss treatment options. Invisalign it is for me... and so my journey begins!

Best ortho clinic ever! ❤️

The staff was very friendly and efficient. Drs. Schabel and Chan are very knowledgeable and developed an amazing treatment plan. Our daughter had great results and we will bring all our children here for treatment.

I’ve been a patient at North Coast Orthodontics since 2017, and I can honestly say that the team is the best around. I initially came in for some major dental work, and Dr. Schabel always went above and beyond to make the process as seamless as possible. Now, I’m back again for Invisalign, and I’m equally impressed with Dr. Chan and the entire staff. They’re incredibly attentive, not only to my dental needs but also to ensuring I feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. I truly appreciate the care and dedication of both Dr. Schabel, Dr. Chan, and their amazing staff. I couldn’t be more thankful for the outstanding service and the results they’ve helped me achieve!

Hands down the best in town. Started in 3rd grade and done before 8th. Perfect smile. The Drs and staff and 100% the best. Very professional and kind. I recommend going here for braces and not even bother looking anywhere else. The level of care can not be beaten. Thank you to all the staff at North Coast!!

Great experience, excellent with kids. Beautiful facility.

North Coast is the best of the best. Dr. Schabel and Dr. Chan are very friendly and professional. They know what they’re doing! I had braces with a different orthodontist and the results weren’t good. I went to North Coast for help and their work transformed my smile. My teeth are perfectly straight and they did an incredible job with my 2 sons also. We are now a family of beautiful smiles. Thank you!

Doctors and staff are by far the best! They make you feel welcome as if you were family. Both my daughters got braces and always very helpful with everything questions you have they have answers. I strongly recommend North Coast Orthodontics’s

Fantastic staff who are caring and thoughtful. Played out options and let the patient be the decision maker. Such a good experience and a wonderful outcome.

Clean office with Kind and welcoming staff

Friendly staff.

We chose North Coast for our child's orthodontic treatment after being impressed with the demeanor, experience, and education of husband-wife team Drs. Schnabel and Chan, and we weren't disappointed. They were able to correct his bite well in less time than they originally predicted, even with some extra revisions at the end, and kept him comfortable the whole way. Their entire staff is thoughtful and competent, too. I'd definitely go back if anyone if my family needs ortho again!

North Coast Orthodontics is great! The staff is really friendly and three of my children have received great care from them. Thank you, North Coast!

Friendly staff. Happy with outcome. Time frame as projected.

It was great experience they did everything right we really appreciate your help 🙏

I couldn’t have picked a better place. Everyone makes you feel like your family and the customer service is beyond what you would expect. I have never been happier with my experience or my teeth. I’m so glad I made the decision to come here.

I just can Say is the Best place , is safe , all the staff is friendly and they take your treatment very seriously.

Fantastic experience working with North Coast Orthodontics for our two daughters' care. Dr. Schabel, Dr. Chan and team are thorough, proactive and easy to work with. No issues, and teeth are looking great!

My 16 year old nephew was visiting from India and he had a problem with his braces digging into his cheek.
I called the office and explained my situation to Danielle who spoke with a manager and asked if we could come in. We were there in about 15 minutes and were greeted with such friendly staff in a very impressive reception area.
My nephew was taken back shortly after and his wire was adjusted so it no longer cut into his cheek. He was also given some wax to use if he had any issues while traveling.
I work in a clinical setting here in Santa Cruz and I was so impressed with the staff at this practice. Very professional, very friendly and caring.
My sister in law and her husband were so overwhelmed with the care they showed their son. It made me proud that they felt this way.
If any of the patients in my clinic ever ask for a good orthodontist I will happily recommend North Coast Orthodontics.

Upon entry to the facility I felt welcomed and comfortable. I’ve seen some amazing transformations before and after photos from other clients that look great with results. I’m currently on my 9th alignment and can really start to see the difference in my teeth!

North Coast Orthodontics has excellent customer service with knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Great experience working with Dr. Schabel on my teeth. I had complications mid treatment unrelated to the Invisalign and he reassured me that we would still get the results that were promised. Now I have to unlearn my habit of not smiling so I can show off all the work we did together.

I called this morning because our family is leaving town today for a weeklong travel and our regular orthodontist’s office was closed.My daughter recently had her braces adjusted at her primary ortho and the wire was cutting into her cheek. North Coast Ortho was not only able to get me in one hour after I called, but they fixed her issue but simply cutting a little wire. My daughter was so happy to get a little relief AND they did it for free as a courtesy. Their office was peaceful, calming and professional. We were seen on time and the whole thing took ten minutes. Beyond impressed. When it’s our younger daughter’s turn for braces we will definitely be considering North Coast. Thank you for your generosity and skill North Coast!!!

North Coast Orthodontics is a wonderful place to go. The entire staff is friendly and professional. They make each patient and their parents feel welcomed and important. I highly recommend this place for all of you and your family's orthodontic needs

Professional, personable, efficient, and exceptionally skilled. Thankful we chose the North Coast team for our families orthodontics.

Super thorough, accommodating and responsive. Always friendly and organized. They made this experience very smooth!

I only trust my children’s smile with Dr Chan or Dr Schabel. I know they are getting the best care at North Coast because I can tell their top priority is to create beautiful smiles. My kids love Dr Chan. She has been so wonderful to deal with; very knowledgeable and meticulous in finding the best plan to get the best results. And their staff are also great to deal with too, always helpful and always with a smile. I am a very happy customer so far!

North Coast Orthodontics has been wonderful during the braces experience for my daughter. They were kind and helpful and so accommodating with appointments early in the morning to work with our schedules. The whole staff is amazing and friendly! Made my daughter feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend them for any orthodontics needs. Not to mention they are the experts and really know what they are doing. Two thumbs up!

I recently completed my treatment with NCO team and I can not be happier. I am going to share my experience, hoping it help you to make a right decision for your well-being!
I was a complex case due to my childhood lip-sucking habit that resulted in having a cross bite, deviated jaw, that consequently affected my breathing, chewing abilities, digestion and bone loss. I never pursued a treatment until I was in my late 30's. On the exam day I met Dr Schabel, and he was very thorough and honest with me. He said that he was confident we could accomplish our goals with Invisalign during an estimated amount of time. I had attachments bonded to my teeth by assistants (that are pro, and have been with the practice forever). At my later visits, I met DR Chan, who is an Orthodontist as well and is Dr Schabel's wife. They both worked on my case at the same time. In terms of treatment plan, we did achieve what we went for, as a result of Drs meticulous, on point treatment plan. I was given a series of initial aligners, and at the end of the last set, we reviewed the result and Drs decided on ordering more aligners which I was ok with. Drs are very professional, yet friendly. They are picky themselves so I could easily rely on them with the details. I also liked the fact that they were very gentle while working on me. I found them to be good listeners and I would give them feedback at every visit.
Regarding how I was treated as an individual, I had some language barrier, as English is my second language. I was accommodated patiently by Drs and assistants. Drs and assistants would slow down speaking to me so I can follow, and would use replacement words or would describe what they meant multiple times, if I didn't know a specific word or term. I always felt heard and cared for, my concerns were addressed all throughout the treatments, and my inputs were taken into consideration.
As someone who has gained what she wanted, health and esthetic wise, Being aware of what an important health/ financial decision this is, I have some points and tips that I'd like to add:
Firstly, consider this a team work between you and your dentist, do your part. Wear your aligners as needed, or care for your braces by avoiding foods you should not be eating. I was very compliant and that's why I got my desired result in the timeline I was expecting.
Secondly, avoid settling for the cheapest option! I started my treatment when I was not in a good financial position, in the middle of Covid. However, as a health care professional, I was aware of cost of making compromises when it comes to health. I did my research, visited other offices and the quality of care, safety, high standard, technology and overall what I got in this office was well worth the money! look at it as an investment you are making on your health. They accommodated me with monthly payments that despite my financial worries it all worked out at the end.
Thirdly, wherever you end up, make sure you are doing your treatment with an Orthodontist! It's important! they go through years of more schooling specifically for fixing our bite and smile. They know so much more!
Lastly, I really hope my feedback helps you find what you are looking for, because it has been life changing for me not only Health-wise but also I love my smile so much more now! 🙂

We would definitely recommend North Coast Orthodontics. They’re professionals and when we had questions or something happened to my daughter’s brackets they were always available. All the process was explained to us and during appointments would take the time to talk to us about the process and next steps. Highly recommended!

This whole office is amazing. They welcomed me with open arms even though I came in for just a one time visit after completing a treatment while living elsewhere, did not charge for the visit, coordinated with the orthodontist in another country and followed up to make sure I had everything I needed. I have visited other orthodontists in Santa Cruz previously who were also great but North Coast is next level.

We came in from out of town and one of my son’s wires had shifted during our vacation and was poking into his cheek. The office was so incredibly nice and got him in right away and fixed the problem with no cost. They were exceptional and really helped us during a mini-crisis on vacation. We are so appreciative. The office was beautiful and the staff was great

2 kids, 2 successful treatments. Came highly recommended from DDS and did not disappoint. Cool modern office and friendly staff.

It’s been an amazing orthodontics experience for my daughters who have been with North Coast Orthodontics for the past 6 years (consults to now)! Treatment plan and braces are now done and their teeth look beautiful! The doctors and staff thoroughly explain the process, follow up in a timely manner, and are always very courteous and flexible. I’ve entrusted them to take care of my children’s orthodontic journey and it’s been so worth it!!

Our daughter is completing the Invisalign treatment and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the process. We avoided years of spacers, metal braces, discomfort for our daughter and ended up with beautiful, well-aligned teeth. Money well worth it and the doctors and staff amazingly supportive.

My daughter was at overnight camp at Kennolyn and had a braces emergency and was in pain :(. I called north coast and I can’t even tell you how helpful they were!!!! They worked with the camp and me to get her in same do so that she could enjoy the rest of her week at overnight camp. Hailey was amazing and helped us so much. They also sent over their records to her ortho back home. I CANNOT say enough good things about the practice- soooooo grateful for them!!!!!

My three kids and I have all gone to North Coast for braces. Our experience has been been incredible. Dr. Schabel and Dr. Chan have been wonderful while treating us and their staff is so friendly and helpful. I recommend North Coast to everyone who asks.

I highly recommend going to North coast, they are so wonderful and welcoming. I’m so happy with my results it was the best thing to boost my self esteem and confidence.

Everyone here is super nice, they made sure every step of the way during braces felt fine and relaxing. It helped a lot that everyone always felt relaxed and professional with what they were doing. Overall it was an amazing orthodontist office.

Wonderful experience! My daughter had a very complicated situation and all came out beautifully! Her smile is a joy to see! The two years was worth it and the doctors and office staff are amazing!

North Coast Orthodontics is an amazing place where everyone there cares and wants to help you. They treat you like family, and make you feel at home. Also for their patients they have many cool scavenger hunts and rewards. I am VERY glad I am go here for my treatment, starting on July 1.
